What does the HP shim technology do?

The HP shim technology increases the clamping force around the combustion chamber. This helps to create a stronger seal, especially important for open deck blocks, and improves the overall sealability of the head gasket.

What is Viton coating and why is it used?

Viton is a type of synthetic rubber known for its excellent resistance to heat, fuels, and oils. Coating the gasket with Viton helps it withstand the harsh conditions inside the engine and maintain a reliable seal over time.

Is this gasket for the left or right side of the engine?

This specific part number, C15161-053, is for the left-hand side (LHS) of the engine. You will need to order a separate part for the right-hand side if both are being replaced.

About this part

Product Details

This is the left-hand side (LHS) MLX head gasket from Cometic, specifically made for the Ford 6.7L Scorpion V8 diesel engine. It's designed with a 100mm bore and a thickness of .053 inches, intended for use on the 2011-2019 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty trucks.

The key feature here is Cometic's HP shim technology. This design increases the clamping force around the combustion chamber, which is especially important for open deck blocks like the one in your 6.7L Power Stroke. This improved sealability helps prevent leaks and ensures reliable performance under demanding conditions. The outer layers of the gasket are embossed and coated with Viton, a material known for its resistance to heat and fluids, further enhancing its sealing capabilities.
